Locking, nonlocking, poly.... Which mount?

What type of engine mount should I order for my 69 BB? I am concerned most with vibration reduction/comfort. Also once the motor is in position I want it never to migrate in the mount due to torque.

energy suspension mounts will hold it solid and insulate vibration however they are subject to heat especially on the driver side and some "snot" will melt and drip off of the mount after a few thousand miles but no ill effects.....

We have also had good luck with the poly mounts, and we've been using Prothane for a while.

You definitely want a locking mount. IT will keep the engine from coming up if/when the mount breaks. Weather you choose poly or rubber is up to you.
